What exactly are you looking for......tarmac or a true track as in dirt 
I think you mean tarmac but not 100% sure. I personally do not think it is responsible to be using our cars to their potential on open and public roads, Mt Gravatt Mountan is not a safe road ot the best of times, and whilst it may seem like a ideal location, you must take into account the surroundings. But I am not here to give a lecture, and I hope you don't take this the wrong way at all, because I love to race and enjoy my cars, but at the same time there is a time and a place. I will get back to you on locations, when you tell me what exactly you are after.

there is a time and place, but there is no money... i guess i'm just lookin for somewhere to cruise on mountainous roads

The back way to Lake Wivenhoe is pretty nice road... the bikes love it on a weekend. There is about a 50 km stretch starting at Waterworks Road at 'The GAP', which heads over Mt Nebo, and Mt Glorious, pretty much all the way to Wivenhoe. I drove it on a Saturday around midday, and apart from about 50 bikes, and 2 Audi TT Quatros which hammered past us it was pretty quite, so during the week it sould be deserted. It was a great drive, even with mum driveing like a GRANDMA!
(Just beware, my uncle lives on Waterworks RD, and he rekons u'll see an average of around 4-5 Ambo's head that way on any SAT/SUN, so make sure ur not the only car, and u have a Mobile)
Cheers and have fun
and be carefull!
